A significant part of Perstorp's climate impact is caused by direct emissions of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels, and indirectly through the consumption of purchased electricity and steam. The emission of fossil carbon dioxide has declined slightly since 2013.

Emissions of ozone-depleting substances 2015 (2014)

Certain waste is recycled internally for energy recovery within the Perstorp Group, for example, 7460 (6330) tons of return methanol at the Perstorp site, 18600 (15975) tons of reaction mother lye at site Bruchhausen and distillation residues at site Warrington amounting to 2335 (2860) tons. By recycling these streams as an energy source, the need for additional fossil fuels is reduced.
